The donation is only $20 million. I have to think that's barely any more of a voice than you or I have in this democracy. Maybe $100 million gets you noticed.
I bought another car recently, and the finance guy was giving me a line of bull, saying I had to buy their fucking maintenance package or my warranty would be void immediately.
I made that mistake once. And by mistake, I mean that I bought the car after getting a line of bull from the finance guy. Now, if I get a line of bull from the finance person, I don't buy the car from that dealer. I also make sure the sales person knows why they just lost a commission.
Since future and past tense clearly matter to no one anymore, lets see how ridiculous you sound with a different example:
In the past, dunkindave posted a reply to let me know that my particular concern was already dealt with by Apple, his response just wasn't condescending like this one.
In the future, when you provide a different example, it should really be about cars.
A normal update does require you to unlock the phone to accept the update. They're talking about leveraging recovery mode which can be used to force load an image onto a phone that might be otherwise unusable. See here - https://support.apple.com/en-u...
Yes. That's the exact Apple support page that worries me. It says "iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data." Updating iOS in this way needs to either require my passcode or erase my data. I expect that it will in a future version version of hardware (because only doing it in software isn't enough).
When I read exactly what the FBI was asking Apple to do, I realized that there was a back door, and that Apple will most likely be doing what they can to close this back door in a future iPhone release.
If I were Apple, I'd make sure a future release gave the user the option of only allowing firmware updates after the user logged in. This doesn't have to be required for every iPhone (corporations might want this disabled on iPhones they purchase for their employees), but it should at least be an option.
The fact that I cant on my cellphone put in 1800* to block every single 800 number from calling my phone is stupid. the phones can do it, why the hell doesnt google bake this into the damn os?
About 8 years ago, one of our local (Milwaukee) TV anchors called the wife of a man who was killed earlier in the day. Unfortunately, no one at the TV station (TMJ4) made sure that the police had already told her. Even worse, the TV station defended her actions and she still works there.
I'm glad this bill wouldn't prevent that sort of thing from happening again; mostly because if she would ever interview me unannounced, the first words out of my mouth are going to be, "Oh god, my wife was killed, wasn't she."
Hopefully the apps from the bank work with rooted phones. I haven't had a chance to use this tech yet (even though I have a Note 5) since I rooted my phone - which stops Samsung and Android Pay from working.
This is not entirely true. To add a credit card to Android Pay it was necessary to unroot my phone. Once the card was added, I re-rooted my phone. Android Pay still works.
I expect that the "hoarding money" is confined to the Ivy League Universities, and by the time you get to Texas A&M and the like they are desperately trying to get funds and have no spare money to hoard. It would be interesting to know the spread in funding.
It would be interesting to know the spread. Per U.S. News, here it is (2013 figures):
I see this as a time saver. When providing the free tech support that many/. users do, I spend too much time installing updates. Hopefully, this will cut down on or almost eliminate that time.
I've started seeing the fake caller ID get to the point that it has the same area code and exchange as my own number... once I apparently even called myself.
Are you sure the call wasn't coming from inside your house?
Smart TVs have a bad record of having their interfaces/applications updated.
Actually, the main apps I use on my Samsung Smart TV have been updated reasonably well. (My Smart TV has the gesture control, but not the voice. I turned it off in the service menu. It's a pain to use and turns itself back on if you turn it off from the regular menu).
Having said that, I'm not happy with the "smart" features of the TV (compared to Roku). I've replaced the other (dumb) TV with a Roku TV, and the UI is just tons better than the Samsung, and surprisingly nicer than adding a Roku to an dumb TV. Until something better comes along, the only TV I'd recommend is a Roku TV.

Wow, that's a lot of data. Did it take the whole internet's bandwidth for a day to send it to all the sites?
No. We used sneakernet.
As long as no Wozniaks are vulnerable to automation, we'll be OK.

bad education is turning our cops into blathering idiots.
No. Rejecting applicants because they're too smart is turning our police force into blathering idiots.
A plethora. Think of how many pinatas you could buy with $9100.
But I don't have millions to buy a voice.

At least consider this as my apology.
Apology considered and accepted. That's the first one I've ever seen here. Let's hope it starts a new trend.

I wanna be a perfect number! 2^74,207,281 - 1, you're so fucking special. Hahaha! That ol' monk got more credit than he deserved didn't he?
Largest known perfect number found (credit to Euclid).

Cyanogenmod. Enable wildcards.

Came here to say this.
Also, who the fuck uses a *pin* and owns a smartwatch? Aren't these early adopter types the ones using google wallet and apple pay?
No. We're running modded Android on our phones, which means no Android Pay.

What I want to know is: If a piracy site wants to pay to place their ads in this box, will Google allow it?
Stop making my brain hurt!
It will have to come out.
